Arsenal Target 7-Point Cushion at Wolves as Arteta Rules Out Odegaard and Havertz

Calafiori and White are available after scares, with the match brought forward to Wednesday during a congested run.

Overview

  • Kick-off is 8pm on Wednesday, February 18, with live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League channels.
  • Arteta said Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz will miss Wolves but he is hopeful both could return for Sunday’s north London derby at Tottenham.
  • Riccardo Calafiori trained and Ben White’s issue was fatigue, with both cleared to feature, as Arsenal review a spate of recent warm-up injuries.
  • Heavy rotation is expected, with reports suggesting multiple changes and Leandro Trossard pushing to start, and Arteta keeping open the option of using Bukayo Saka centrally.
  • Arsenal lead Manchester City by four points, can extend it to seven with a win over bottom-placed Wolves, remain active in four competitions, and reports indicate Gabriel Jesus has not yet opened contract talks.
